London Wall is a section of the Roman defensive wall that encircled the city of Londinium, constructed during the later second century AD. The remains visible at Camomile Street comprise substantial stonework and include a bastion, a projecting defensive structure characteristic of late Roman military architecture. Built from Kentish ragstone bonded with mortar and faced with squared stone, the wall once stood approximately six metres in height and formed part of an extensive fortification system protecting the settlement's perimeter. This surviving stretch represents an important physical testimony to Roman Britain's urban infrastructure and defensive strategy during the imperial period.
